Celebrate New Year’s Eve beachfront at Ellis Beach Bar & Grill with six live acts taking you from afternoon into 2027.
Doors open at 4pm with music from 4:30pm, starting with FNQ favourites Rob Longstaff and Nicole Nighthawk before The Raconteurs bring the ska and reggae energy.
From there, things get louder with Melbourne hard rockers Willie J’s 6V6s and Cooktown’s Boing Boing, before Riff Raff take over for the headline set — delivering the ultimate Bon Scott-era AC/DC tribute to count us into the New Year and keep the party going afterwards.
Expect live music, cold drinks, beachfront atmosphere and a huge night of Australian rock, reggae, ska and punk.
